# Replace Text in Code

 **To replace text in a module**



1. On the  **Edit** menu, click **Replace**. The **Replace** dialog box appears.
    
2. In the  **Find What** box, type the text you want to search for.
    
3. In the  **Replace With** box, type the replacement text.
    
4. Select a  **Search** option to specify where to look for the text.
    
5. Select a direction from the  **Direction** list to specify the direction of the search.
    
6. To set limits on the search, select:
    
    
    
      -  **Find Whole Word Only** to search for the complete word by itself, and not as part of another word.
    
  -  **Match Case** for an exact match.
    
  -  **Use Pattern Matching** to use wildcard characters.
    

    
    
7. Choose  **Find Next** if you want to confirm the change before replacing the text; choose **Replace** to replace the highlighted occurrence of the found text and automatically perform a **Find Next**; or choose **Replace All** to change all occurrences of the search text automatically.
